Yes, Kasey has come up with another one. But this is also the first RP I've run this year..I think.

Highlight this post somewhere in the rules, and you will find the codeword!

---

Roleplay Name: Memento
Roleplay Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Rating: I wish I could say M, but PG-13. No crazy sex or anything, just..things the immature probably wouldn't be able to wrap their heads around.
Setting: The group starts in the outskirts of a nameless large city, and from there they travel. A majority of the routes taken wind through deserts or other dry areas and are relatively quiet, though the group will often edge close to the shoreline and a metropolis or two.
Plot: Mordecai, a modest little mage-in-training with an usual gait and charm, has found himself stranded in an unfamiliar city after escaping siege on his home village. Alone and perplexed, he spends his days wandering around the streets and pleading for handouts to keep his system running smoothly.

Though he wears a smile on his face, a giant hole concealed beneath his clothing prepares to shut him down..until, one after another, the oddest of people gather around him, forming a small, thrown-together group. After Mordecai shares his story, they offer to guide him to the source of his and his society's pain, then all the way back home. He's accepted.

Additional Rules:

- Some of the content in this RP will be likely to offend the beliefs and morals of a majority of members - if you're frightened by adult themes and concepts, or you think you would be religiously or personally against whatever the story has in mind, please do not consider joining.

- Who will be allowed to join this RP will be chosen using a..natural selection of sorts. Meaning, the most experienced, the literate, the imaginative and the open-minded have a far better chance of being officially registered rather than the new guy looking for some fun. If you are selected, you will receive a PM the day the RP begins.

- For your characters' appearances, I would super appreciate it if you made them using SubetaHQ's or arvee's human avatar generators. I personally like arvee's better, but SHQ's is usually more up-to-date.
If your character wears a cape or something, it'd be nice if you had an image of them with the cape and without it. The codeword is puppy!

- Not a rule, but a strong recommendation: as the RP focuses mainly on the players' feelings and histories, the Character Background Generator may help you when stuck in the creation process of a deep character. There are also tons of resources for writers that you can bend to assist you; you could either lurk around google to find them or see a nice little list of sites in the Suggestion Box.

- Please PM me your profiles, instead of posting them. Then I will list the ones of those accepted in one neat, orderly post, making for easy access.

- This RP will start one week from today, or whenever I feel I have enough people to accept.

Memento Lingo:

Forgot the name of the group's current location or where they're headed? Never fear! The ML list of places is here to help.

Castenana (Kast-eh-nana) - A well-sized village located just east of Ferrenton, this is the place Mordecai proudly calls home. Though the community focuses on teachings of the official religion and the education of children, the residents are known to be quite fickle..

Ferrenton (Fur-en-ton) - The city in which the group's journey begins. Large and well known for its market square and beautiful women, Ferrenton is guarded by an elite band of mercenaries. However, most aren't very cheerful individuals and it's advised that you don't try and socialize with them.

Salivini River (Sal-ee-vee-nee) - Noted for its huge size, the Salivini runs past Ferrenton, providing fresh water for the city and neighboring area. Its said that the name Salivini came from the founder of Ferrenton's dog!

This list will be updated every time the group makes it past the place listed last.

Character Bio

Name:- Mordecai Lykke

Alibi:- None. And he does not like being called Morty.

Age:- 8

Date of Birth:- June 9th (Gemini)

Gender:- Male

Occupation:- Mage-in-training

Orientation:- As an 8 year old, I don't think he'd care about romance. There's something about him that makes me think he's up for anything, though.

Submissive or Dominant:- Mix: while he usually does as told, he likes to play the mother figure and sometimes even tries to take care of himself, which involves shooing people away or running off somewhere.

Species:- Human

Personality:- Growing up in a community with a strong education system, our feminine friend Mordecai is an intellectual child - he could surpass a handful of people twice his age. However, he is very modest and eager to please, not one to brag. Its in his best interest to ensure that those around him are healthy and happy, and likes to gift people without them knowing it. Rarely he forgets about himself, but he tries to take only whats needed.

Mordecai has a staggering amount of emotional needs for a kid, and, though he usually rejects his feelings, occasionally he will explode and use reasoning, both logical and not, to cover up the fact he's acting incredibly selfish. He bonds to a single person and becomes closer to them than all the others combined. When that person is not content, you can expect a catty Mordecai clawing you to shreds whenever you try to communicate with him.

Weapons:- Since Mordecai is a beginning mage, he does have to channel energy through various objects. He doesn't carry a weapon on him, so if he can't find something on the ground to use, he might as well snatch yours.

Basic Powers:- Electric/lightning, though if he uses the wrong thing to send his power through, results can be dangerous (read: he'll start a giant fire). Able to create barriers, but he's not a master at it and they can be broken through easily, providing just a few seconds of protection.

Strength:- Mordecai dedicates himself to love, and treats friends and family with genuine tenderness you wouldn't ever find in your next door neighbors' kids. Their contentedness delivers him the strength he needs to assist, even enemies when the time is right. Persistance is his middle name - in a majority of situations, he'll never lose hope, and continues to try until he collapses in exhaustion, sometimes literally.

Weakness:- Thriving on a strong support system; if it's ever diminished or lost, Mordecai's self-esteem will plummet. He'll become uncaring and throw himself face first into the dirt. Fleeing from his responsibilities is a plan of action he's expected to take, but if no one chases after him and reassures him that he's loved, things can and most likely will be taken to tragic extremes.

Special Talent:- Mordecai loves to draw! Skilled with the paintbrush, he enjoys illustrating pictures of landscapes and animals, particularly cats.

Family:- Mordecai was living with his aunt and uncle at the time of the raid, as his parents were vacationing. He has an older sister, named Fina.

History:- Mordecai is a refugee - he spent most of his years happily in a structured religious community, but was forced to escape and seek shelter after a new arcane faith shattered the community's former one and lead to siege on his home.

Personality:- Gale is usually pretty honest. He’s kind, but will usually just tell things the way they are. He’s confident around people as well as his work.

In a fight, he’ll know when the odds a stacked against him and knows when to run away. Always best to save yourself and fight another day.

Keeping that in mind, in a group and surrounded by others, he’ll fight to protect them to the bitter end, no matter what the odds.

Appearance:- Black messy long hair, big brown eyes. Average height, fit with some muscle. White silk buttoned shirt with collar, two black belts, dark blue jeans, wearing big dark brown boots underneath which match his gloves. His left arm and right leg are machines. Though the jeans cover his leg, his arm is completely visible. Sometimes wears any large coat he finds to walk around cities. (picture)

Weapons:- A large sword about the height of himself, carries it in a black sheath behind his back, and a large crossbow as well. Wears a dagger on his left hip.

Basic Powers:- He can heal small cuts and bruises, and flick a small flame on his finger tip, but that’s it.

Strength:- He can jump pretty high and he’s quite flexible thanks to his automail (lol, I had to say it). His swordplay is almost second to none, because he isn’t exactly an ordinary guy. He can quickly fire an arrow in an instant, even sniper from a long range.

Weakness:- But thanks to the automail, he’s fairly slow on his feet. Any small child could outrun him. If the automail rips or falls apart (which is rare in some cases), he’ll need help and repairs at the next nearby town. He’s very sensitive about his limbs, though he won’t admit it.

Special Talent:- He can whistle.

Family:- Grandpa and his little sister. Possibly considers Master, his mistress and their three small children.

History:- When Gale was a small boy, he lived with his legal guardian who he called Grandpa and his little sister in a small cottage. His sister and himself were orphans from the war their parents died in. They weren’t really related, but it was the only family they had. They were happy together.

Grandpa taught Gale to chop wood, a little swordplay, and the crossbow. He even taught them both some education, even though they hated it.

Gale was 12 when the following happened.

One night, his little sister heard noises coming from outside and was scared. She woke Gale to go look outside with her. When they both ventured outside, a large monster that hid in the darkness tore at Gale’s right leg and he was down. Then it came back and took his sister. Trying desperately to get her back, he lost his left arm in the progress.

The following morning, Grandpa found Gale half-dead. His arm was gone, and the damage to his leg became infected, so they had to remove it. His sister’s corpse was found dead a few miles away.

A few years passed, on Gale’s 15th birthday, he decided to get automail and train under a master, one of Grandpa’s friends, ages away from the cottage.

Saying farewell to Grandpa, he trained non-stop but to sleep and eat under his Master for two years.

Close to Gale’s 17th birthday, Grandpa passed away without his knowledge. Finding out after Master’s mistress mistakenly muttered something, Gale raged into a fit and ran home.

He found out some time later that it was Grandpa’s final wish to not tell Gale of his death, and to not bring him anymore pain. It always ached in his heart that he didn’t hear the screams of the two when they were attacked.

After that, Gale has been hunting out monsters for townsfolk and vanquishing them for a small price. It’s been over a year.

Character Bio

Name:- James Michael Hooke

Alibi:- ---

Age:- 19

Date of Birth: Nov. 1 (Scorpio)

Gender:- male

Occupation:- thief

Orientation:- straight

Submissive or Dominant:- dominant

Species:- human

Personality:- As a thief, Jimmy is very independant and normally watches out for himself. He prefers working alone than with a group - he feels that others hold him back. He's very confident in his abilities, but can sometimes become over confident and fall into the clutches of the law. His pride also plays a huge role. Those who know him feel that his pride alone is what keeps him going when he's at a loss. Even so, Jimmy remains dogged until the very end. Win or lose his soul can't be broken in the end of the day. He also uses the language style "Nadsat" which is a mixture of slavic and russian slang substituting certain words of the english language. He'll do anything to prove his worth.

Strength:- The main aspects that help Jimmy in his 'profession' are his exceptional speed and stealth. He's proud of the fact that he's able to sneak into a high security prison just by blending in with the crowd. Despite his low strength, his speed is above the average person's. Jimmy could easily outrun another person, but matched in strength he's at a loss.

Weakness:- Although he has strengths, Jimmy's main weakness is women. He is an obvious lecher and will normally go after a pretty woman without thinking. He's fallen into many traps because of his fondness for women gone disarray. Another big weakness is his inability to take a hit. He can dodge easily, but he'll also go down easily. Jimmy's extreme speed is balanced out by his incredibly low defense.

Special Talent:- The one thing Jimmy can do better than anyone else is talking himself into or out of whatever he wants. His speaking skills are impeccable when it comes to talking himself out of a jam or causing a distraction. It's his one true talent other than lockpicking, but that's normal for a thief.

Family:- Jimmy's mother died at a very young age leaving his father in charge up until his eventual runaway when he turned 17. He has no sisters, but a brother working in royalty that he's always been compared to. He lives in his shadow.

History:-After his mother's death, Jimmy was left with his neglectful father, because of his negligence, Jimmy was forced to live independently and fend for himself. Since his early teens, Jimmy's been having to steal to simply survive. When caught, he was taken home and beaten severely. His only brother works for the royal guard. Jimmy has always been compared to his older brother and looked down upon for it. After being captured on day taking a loaf of bread, he was beaten severely by his drunken father and abruptly thrown out of the house and told not to return until he acquired a real job. Jimmy could no longer take this and ran where ever the wind would take him.

Character Bio

Name:- Anari Parker (pronounced like Samari but Anari)

Alibi:- none

Age:- 11

Date of Birth:- 8th of December (Sagittarius)

Gender:- Female

Occupation:- sun warrior

Orientation:- She's straight but doesn't really care much about romance.

Submissive or Dominant:- Both, Anari dose as she's told by adults but with kids/teenagers she'll do as she's told only if it makes sense to do, otherwise she is a bit bossy.

Species:- Sun Elf

Personality:- Growing up with loving but strict parents she has become strong, being able take harsh comments and throwing back has enabled her to grow more freely without the bullies. Anari is an extremely intelligent girl and loves school.She spends a lot of her time outside bathing in the sunlight and practicing her sword and fire skills. She has one lifelong companion named Tyrone who is a wolf. Anari's mother gave him to her when she was a baby and they've grown up together. Although after that one unfortunate day on the Sun when the invasion took place (when she was a toddler) she has now wanted to grow stronger and stronger to one day get revenge on the night assassin.

Appearance:- x(halo and wings not included; valentine will edit later)

Weapons:- Anari uses a powerful sword which her father sent with her to Earth for her to train with, that sword has been past down through her family for centuries.
Basic Powers:- Her power is fire/heat (since she comes from the sun)
Strength:- Her strength is the Sun as long as she's in the sun her powers will boost immensely because she is a Sun child.

Weakness:- Anari's weakness is darkness. When darkness falls she will become weak and her powers will be pathetic.

Special Talent:- Her special talent is her singing she has a beautiful voice and she also plays the harp and when those two things combined it's harmony for those who are listening!

Family:- Anari is living with her mum, dad, and brother (she's adopted and got sent to this family when she was a toddler, she knows all this but her previous life on the Sun is a bit hazy)
History:- Anari lived on the Sun for about 5-6 years with her mother (Sun queen), her father (Sun king), her brother (Sun warrior) and her faithful pet Tyrone. When she was 6 (at night) a horrible thing took place - a whole army of night assassins invaded the Sun, tearing down anything that stood in their way. It was easy for them to do so because the Sun doesn't always shine and when it's dark they're weak, and if they're weak it'll be easy to take them down. Why, obviously the Sun people and the Moon people have been at each other for ages and ages, it's sort of like tradition. The Sun people aren't that stupid to just leave their city unguarded for everyone to come, no, there is one priestess who is constantly chanting an ancient prayer which keeps a magic force field up, but someone had used a portal to port inside and stabbed the priestess in the heart (to be able to use portals you would have to get a curse on you, which takes a few years of your life). When the invasion was taking place her mother sent Anari and her pet wolf Tyrone down to Earth to live a safe and happy life, the only thing she remembers her previous life and her family by is a necklace with a glowing red orb attached to it. Anari's life is running smoothly on Earth after all that commotion, she has grown to become an excellent swordsman and her fire skills have improved drastically and has grown to love her new life and family!

Name:- Alice Elamore
Alibi:- Al

Age:- 13

Date of Birth:- 12/12/95 (Sagittarius)

Gender:- Female

Occupation:- Elvin student

Orientation:- Heterosexual (that is to say, straight)

Submissive or Dominant:- Al is more of the recessive leader type, as she will lead if she absolutely has to, but otherwise will go with the flow.

Species:- Elf (changed from human).

Personality:- At first, from birth until her 12th birthday, Alice was fun-loving and great to be with. Her optimism was unsurpassed, and she always knew how to bring out the best in someone no matter what. She was a brilliant empath, knowing how people felt and putting herself in their shoes to see if they needed help or not.

Unfortunately, the rigorous and exhaustive training that the elves put her through (see history) drained away most of this good humour, leaving a cold, merciless shell prepared to destroy any threat to herself. She is now, however, in possession of an empathy far more powerful (see Basic Powers).

Weapons:- None, apart from magic.
Basic Powers:- Al cannot use magic, however can control the element of air. Her power increases the more real the threat. She feels the emotions of those around her if she concentrates.

Strength:- Power. when she gets going, she really does bring down the heavens. She is very useful in a fight (If it's long, that is).
Weakness:- Mercy. That is, she has none. She will kill anyone who threatens her. She also has no loyalty - if friends or family frustrate her, she will explode and leave them. She is cold, and feels no pity for others worse off than her.
Special Talent:- Brilliant sculptor.
Family:- Rich mother and father, a sister and a brother, who she hates (all of 'em). Her Elvin family is her teacher Braom.
History:- Every 100 years, Elves demand 1 child to be a in return for the good charms they put upon the village. When they chose Al, her family refused. Taken by force and put through a training so vigorous it left her a shadow of her former self, Al was awarded with the ability to manipulate air. She now searches for something to do whilst her Elvin guardian cooks up schemes to teach her magic.

let's get this party started, yo.

---

"Well..wouldn't you like something in return, kid? I can't just take this from you. It's not right."

Mordecai slumped behind his hair, using ragged honey locks as shielding while he shook his head. "It's okay. Keep it! I bet it will help you out when you need to save the city." He slowly turned his chip up, exposing a tiny, exhausted smile and dull, bloody orbs. "You know..if the city actually needs saved for once." He turned nonchalantly, though pausing briefly to grasp another look at the bewildered mercenary beside him.

"Heh..are you sure you do-" He caught himself needlessly, blinking in surprise as the small boy sauntered away. Wondering if he could manage to finish his question before he'd be left unheard, he decided against it, waving awkwardly.

Mordecai continued walking, destination nowhere. His mind sluggishly registered that this morning marked the fifth day since his placid face hit sandy ground, since his ankle tortuously twisted, since he woke up hours later bundled beside an abandoned pawn shop and a teddy bear. Having sold it at a newer secondhand store, he gained a small pocketful of coins..spending them all on lunch the same day. Stupid rang endlessly in his ears, and as punishment downgraded him to crumbs and crackers. Today whispered limit - Mordecai crashed onto brick pavement, sharp pain tearing through his nose and lips as he bled a fine mixture of crystal and crimson.

Heavy footsteps came along the road. An almost cheerful looking guy threw a small bag of coins up and down in the air with his right, whistling a fine tune. He threw it up and the sky, grabbing it victoriously as it fell.

Finally~! Time to finally eat some real food!

He didn't have a coat or anything like that on today, it was torn during the last hunt. He minded his left arm, keeping it close to his side and in his pocket. He hated people staring at it.

The guy placed the wallet into his pocket, suddenly looking up to see the body of a child in the distance. His eyes widened, and suddenly he looked horrified. Memories of her... His sister... That boy looked around the same age...

No... Not again...!!! What raced through his thoughts as he ran as fast as his metal limbs could carry him toward the body. He quickly shifted around for anything, for a beast.

He slid down, turning the boy around and leaning him up, "Hey, hello? Kid, are you okay?" he shook him gently, then checking his pulse. He stopped, he seemed somewhat calmer now. He was alive.

It looked like he had been bleeding. Probably fainted face-first, ouch... He smudged the blood from his face onto his glove to clean him up a little. He didn't look like any of the locals around here... He looked fine besides tired, but still, should see a local doctor just in case, he thought. He picked him up and ran back to town.

Looks like I won't be eating for awhile, hopefully that money won't all have to be spent on this kid...

---

The young man sat in the somewhat white room as the kid slept in the bed across from him. He was in a chair by the door. His money dwindled away ever so effortlessly. All that was left was probably one last small meal in this damned city before he'd have to work his ass off again.

Dammit~! But still... I couldn't have just left this poor kid on the road like that... He looked over, sighing and resting back with his arms folded. He closed his own eyes to sleep.

((Ferrenton, right?))

"Hey! Get that kid!" Jimmy dashed out of the shop holding a loaf of bread under his arm. "Somebody get him!" Damn damn damn damn...! He pushed through people left and right until he came to a narrow alleyway where he hid. He panted, trying to catch his breath quietly as the officials made their way passed his point. "Heh...stupid pigs..."

After finishing his oh-so-elegant meal of bread, he made his way back to what he called a home. A small broken down hut covered by an old blanket. It was recently burned, and the formers left it to be. He sighed. "This world...it's all just one great big adventure, isn't it...heh...at least that's what they used to tell me."

He took a short nap and burst into the light once again. "Now then...let's a have a bit of fun, shall we...?" He walked the streets, carefully scanning those around him. No...no...too old...too small...zip... He sighed again and looked around. "Doesn't anyone in this town carry money...?"

"Hey! There he is again!" Jimmy turned to see the guards from before; Ever dogged. "Crap!" He took off again but swiftly turned a corner, immediately falling into their trap. "Okay kid, you're coming with us..." Two officers held him while the others escorted. "Let your guard down again, did you? Well...let's just see what his majesty has to say about that..." Jimmy hung his head. "Not again..."

"Hey, watch where your going! you triped me!" yelled Anari " Yeah you better walk off." Anari staggered up with a grazes on her knees.....Tyrone started barking then turned around and started licking Anari' grazes "Ok ok thats enough", she looked around, she was bored "Why is there no excitment in my life" she sighed.

Anari started a small fire in her hand, "That girls lighting a fire!" yelled a man who was pointing at her " Quick get her!" before Anari knew it she was running for her life, dodging people so she didn't fall again.............Anari was cornered in a small alley way "I..I didn't mean to frighten you..I wasen't going to light a fire anyway, i swear" The man who had dobbed her in had an ugly smerk on his face.

He was tall and skinny and wore his pant awkwardly high. Nerd she thought to herself.Anari wistled and Tyrone came barging in, the nerdy man gasped and triped over himself and fell. Anari let out a little giggle before asking if she could go. "I suppose so, but no more free fires ok", "yep sure, thanks sir" she said before walking out and giving the man a sly look.

"Hpmh.......that was fun, but if i do it again i'll be arrested for sure" she said "What was that mans problem? He seemed awfully pleased with himself when i was cornered in alley...............meh he was weird anyways." Anari's hair was flying everywhere it was quite long, down to her bellybutton, she pulled it back "Let's go home Tyrone, hope Mum dosen't find out"

"Ugh! Is there nothing to do in this boring human city?"
Alice Ellamore, young air-bending elf and resident meanie, surveyed the bustling scene of the city.
All of a sudden, she saw a young man dodging through the crowds with incredible speed, pursued by pudgy security guards. Intrigued, she leapt off of the building she had been standing on, over a dark-skinned girl and a man, a wolf in between them. She gracefully twirled through the air like a top, landing on the building above the man, who had been grabbed by the guards.
"Okay kid, you're coming with us..." growled one of them.
"Let your guard down again, did you? Well...let's just see what his majesty has to say about that..." grunted another. Alice's pupils glowed as she felt the air around her for emotions. Despair seemed abundant around the man.
What did he do wrong? Ugh, ridiculous humans, always getting into trouble.Then another thought occurred to Al: Who in Ellesmera is his majesty? The only your majesties I've ever known was Izslanda and her daughter Aryi.....well, at least this'll be something to do....And with that, Al locked onto the captured man and followed him upon the rooftops.

Jimmy sighed as he sat in his cell, awaiting what could possibly be certain death. He looked around seeing nothing but dust on the ground and a few scratches carved into the wall of the dank cell. "Heh...they're still here..." He took his dagger and scartched another marking on the wall. He heard a loud slam and quick slid the dagger back into its holster and held his hands behind his back.

A tall, yet stock man made his way into the cell. The head of the guardsmen, Vergil, now stood before Jimmy. "Well, well, well...if it isn't Vergil, how are you?" "Shut up, rat! I've had enough of your antics in my town." "You're town? I'm sorry...I was unaware it belonged to one such as yourself...tell me...how ever to you make it around with those pudgy legs of yours?" "Shut up!" He drew his sword and rose it to strike.

"Vergil!" He turned swiftly, lowering his sword. "Please...report back to the main gates. There's a disturbance I'd like you to take care of..." Vergil nodded and left with a grunt. The new man turned to Jimmy and sighed. "James...how many times shall I have to break you free...you know I can't keep it up." "I'm not asking you to, Jeremy. I'm perfectly fine--" "No, if you stay you'll die here. Now hurry out...I'll clear you a way." "I don't need your help!" "Don't be foolish! You can't always live just by your own hands; You'll need others eventually." He pulled a key from his waist and unlocked a nearby window. Jimmy propped himself up on it. "I'll remember that..." He lept out of the window, thanking god it was on the first level. Jeremy shook his head. "That boy..needs to grow up." He turned and left the room as his cast blue armor shone in the light above him.

Jimmy sat under a tree about a mile from the building pondering his next move. They'll be looking for me... He fell back into a laying position, resting his head on his hands. "All I need now is somewhere to stay..."

and, yes, charly, ferrenton. is it bad that i feel really lame when i give places names and histories?

Mordecai's eyelids slowly opened, revealing an off-white expanse cushioned around him. The businesslike, sickly atmosphere pained his nostrils as he tried to breathe in scents of consciousness; swollen lips ached as did his lower back from few hours of rest upon a creamy hospital bed. Hearing the flimsy paper squished beneath him crack as he attempted to stretch, he sighed and propped himself up on one arm.

Study of his surroundings came to an abrupt end as he scanned directly past a man seated close to the door. Nervously backtracking, his heart pounding in his ears from shock, Mordecai examined thoroughly, noting several bulky weapons positioned against his clothing for quick use or laid beside him. He bore a rusted mechanical arm, frighteningly contrasting a snow-white collared shirt. Though intimidated, Mordecai forced himself to question. "Hi? Do you know what happened?"

"Hmm?" he opened his eyes. The kid was finally awake after half a day. He must've been exhausted. He looked much better now.

"Oh, hi..." he waved a little awkwardly, placing it beside him. It must've been weird to wake up to someone like himself, "...I found you unconscious by the road, so I brought you here. Your nose and chin were all bloodied up, must've fainted head-first or something... Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. There's some hospital food and some water behind you, thought you might've been hungry/thirsty and whatnot."

He stood up. His left leg was asleep, but his metal one supported him enough as he clanked it to the floor.

Eeew. His majesty.....is this porky freak? Ugh. I followed this trouble maker for nothing. He isn't even royalty. This sucks pretty bad. Alice surveyed another guard freeing the man. They looked alike, somehow, but Alice couldn't place how. Her pupils lit up and she felt the annoyance that centered around the green-haired man, the one who had been imprisoned.
Why is he annoyed? The other human just set him free.....that idiot should feel grateful. Seriously, I am so glad I'm not human anymore......they're so...bizzare. I feel distanced from them, too.She watched the man as he laid back, obviously relaxed. Alice's butterscotch eyes betrayed her fascination of this man. That's when she made her decision.
Alice leapt from the prison building, high into the air, obscuring the sun for a moment, before she descended, her pose like a panther ready to strike. She landed with her back to the man, and swiftly turned around.
"Hello." she said, sounding uninterested.

Jimmy opened one eye and saw a apathetic looking girl staring down at him. "Can I help you...?" He strewtched and got up to look down at her. "What exactly are you doing out here in the middle of the woods...alone for that matter?" He looked at her inquisitively, taking in her blank expression for a moment. She looked young, younger than him anyway.

"Ahh......oh no I think i made the wrong turn, well thats what i get for daydreaming" Anari ajusted her eyes to the new surroundings. There's tree's everywhere and the the dry leaves were crackleing under her and her wolf's feet/paws "must be the woods" she said to Tyrone, ok then all I have to do is climb the nearest and then see where there's civilisation."

So thats exactly what she did. "Well climbing a trees harder than it looks" she got in a comfortable position stading on 2 branches "hmph, ok now i can see better.......hey the prisons not so far away i'll come down and then we'll start walking." They started trekking north to the prison Anari's long elf ears were flopping just like Tyrone's as she walked and her hair blew softly as a cool breeze swept the woodland floors.

Tyrone barked............"What's wrong?" Anari looked up "Oh theres people over there maybe they can help!" She started running even though the sun was strong (wich didn't affect her cause she uses the sun as her energy), "they're about a mile from the prison." Anari walked up to them, they didn't seem like they new eachother very well....."That girl has the same ears as me" Anari thought to herself, "Ummm............hi" she said nervously hopeing they didn't just stare at her and Tyrone.

"What exactly are you doing out here in the middle of the woods...alone for that matter?"
"Is that ANY of your business?" snapped Al, looking at him disdainfully. "Anyways, I can look out for myself."
"Ummm............hi." said a voice behind Al. She whirled around and found herself face-to-face with a sun elf.
"Yes?" said Al, her voice cold enough to freeze the blood. "If you and your......animal could excuse me, I was talking to this trouble-making human with apparently no brain. One of her thin eyebrows arched perfectly over her butterscotch eye. She turned back to the man.
"So what were you doing in prison?" she asked.

Jimmy looked confused. The sun elf seemed timid...but the other was cold as it was. "Geez, I'm sorry..." He lookeda t the sun elf again and her wolf. The chances of it attacking quickly raced through his mind as he kept his hand by his dagger. "So..and elf and a....umm...what are you?" He turned to Alice...you don't look like her and you're kinda short to be a woman. Oh well...either way...I have to get going. It was...umm...a pleasure..." He started to walk away. Wow...this place just keeps getting wierder and wierder...I swear... "As for being in jail...it's none of your business."

"Ok bye..........it was nice meeting you..........i guess" Anari was confused what was that girl/elf talking about, a trouble-making human with apparently no brain and in prison?Also that girl didn't seem very happy. It's none of my business what they were talking about, and i shouldn't ask either. Anari shuffled backwards so she wasn't so close to the elf stranger "So, hi my names Anari , it's nice to meet you" Anari said trying to sound nice. "And this animal is my pet wolf, Tyrone, he won't bite" Anari was urging to ask question about this girl/elf but didn't want want to be intruding on anything so she only ask the 2 questions she desperately neaded to know "ummm I don't mean to be intruding or affencive but i wanted to ask you, Why do you have elf ears the same ears as me...are you from around?"...........

Urrrr.......Valentine? You may want to post my profile, no one knows what I can do, what I am, and such like. I'll post it here for now.

Quote:

Name:- Alice Elamore

Alibi:- Al

Age:- 13

Date of Birth: 12/12/95 (Sagittarius)

Gender:- Female

Occupation:- Elvin student

Orientation:- Heterosexual (that is to say, straight)

Submissive or Dominant:- Al is more of the recessive leader type, as she will lead if she absolutely has to, but otherwise will go with the flow.

Species:- Elf (changed from human).

Personality:- At first, from birth until her 12th birthday, Alice was fun-loving and great to be with. Her optimism was unsurpassed, and she always knew how to bring out the best in someone no matter what. She was a brilliant empath, knowing how people felt and putting herself in their shoes to see if they needed help or not.

Unfortunately, the rigorous and exhaustive training that the elves put her through (see history) drained away most of this good humour, leaving a cold, merciless shell prepared to destroy any threat to herself. She is now, however, in possession of an empathy far more powerful (see Basic Powers).

Appearance:- Impossibly beautiful.

Weapons:- None, apart from magic.

Basic Powers:- Al cannot use magic, however can control the element of air. Her power increases the more real the threat. She feels the emotions of those around her if she concentrates.

Strength:- Power. when she gets going, she really does bring down the heavens. She is very useful in a fight (If it's long, that is).

Weakness:- Mercy. That is, she has none. She will kill anyone who threatens her. She also has no loyalty - if friends or family frustrate her, she will explode and leave them. She is cold, and feels no pity for others worse off than her.

Special Talent:- Brilliant sculptor.

Family:- Rich mother and father, a sister and a brother, who she hates (all of 'em). Her Elvin family is her teacher Braom.

History:- Every 100 years, Elves demand 1 child to be a in return for the good charms they put upon the village. When they chose Al, her family refused. Taken by force and put through a training so vigorous it left her a shadow of her former self, Al was awarded with the ability to manipulate air. She now searches for something to do whilst her Elvin guardian cooks up schemes to teach her magic.

RP Sample:- viewtopic.php?f=23&t=22610 Here is a Roleplay of mine. Samples of my writing can be found here.

Codeword: puppy

"You don't look like her and you're kinda short to be a woman. Oh well...either way...I have to get going. It was...umm...a pleasure...As for being in jail...it's none of your business." said the man, and walked off. Alice stared after him coldly.
No real loss, I can easily find him in the prison again."So, hi my names Anari , it's nice to meet you. And this animal is my pet wolf, Tyrone, he won't bite."
Alice turned around, and her face seemed to say "Could I care less?". Her eyebrow was once again raised, this time so high it disappeared into her black, chunky hair. Her whole face was a mask of contempt.
"Ummm I don't mean to be intruding or offensive but i wanted to ask you, why do you have elf ears the same ears as me...are you from around?"
Alice's pupils glowed green, and she felt the elf's nervousness around her.
But I haven't been nice to anyone in ages.......and this girl is an elf. Albeit not a forest elf, but an elf nonetheless. No other elf has ever tried befriending me before.... "Hello Anari." said Alice, trying not to be frosty and acid but failing miserably. "I'm....Alice. Alice Ellamore. You can call me Al.....if it's convenient...."
Alice was not used to this friendship thing. She didn't like it.
"Ugh.....maybe I have "elf ears" because I am an elf." snapped Alice. She felt uncomfortable. "And I'm from Ellesmera, in the Great forest, WeldenVarden. So no, unless you want to travel over one hundred miles to visit a city full of elves so impossibly, flawlessly beautiful that humans faint when they're looked at by them, then I'm not from around."
Alice realized that what she had said barely made sense, however she had said it in such a tactless tone that Anari looked slightly frightened again.
"Look......sorry. I'm not used to this whole.....friendship thing."

Urr, I don't need to be reminded. And your post is borderline godmodding at the very end - you can't choose Anari's reaction. And I'm seeing Mary Sue pop up again. Flawlessly beautiful people everywhere? No.

Crazychick, you're sweet and all, but please watch your punctuation. I don't mean to be a burden or anything, dearie~

Boring post to get the role play going. I think I've sorted out all the applications by now.

Mordecai shrugged dispassionately; now eager to return to the sunbathed streets after regaining a fair bit of energy, he squirmed. "You know..just was walking around, didn't have enough money for food, got a little hungry. I guess." He adjusted himself to face a plethora of crackers, bread slices and cheese, neatly arranged along a bulky green baker's rack behind his bed. "These will do fine, but how many should I take? I think I should buy my food instead."

Swinging himself from his position onto the floor, he cracked his spine restlessly, crimson eyes still attached to the showcase of food. Gravely, Mordecai pondered over where his midnight cape and charms had been stored or taken, feeling his blood dusted shoulders sting from contact with medical air.

((We could say your cape and charms were stolen while you were face-first in the road (before Gale found him). We could team up and search the area, then that leads us to the local thief, Jimmy. Though he didn't take it, he shows us the way to the real culprit </idea>.))

"Wait... Just walking around? Do you have any family at all, kid?" For the child to be treated in the hospital in the first place, he had to pretend the kid was his relative.

The guy scratched his head, giving a small chuckle, "Don't worry about it. The food's all yours, it's on me. You look like you need it more than I do."

He tilted his head as the child leapt from the bed, "Hey, what's wrong? Anything on your mind?"

Right, okay. Will try to control the "Mary Sue"ness, (whatever that may mean), and anyway, these beautiful elves don't appear. They're far from "around". Only Alice has ever seen them.
Sorry about the "godmodding", I just thought t'would be.........appropriate. (that Anari looked afraid)
Will edit post with profile, I'll take it out.
Okay, posting part of RP.
Ummm, should I change her?? Maybe make her......less powerful? Or is it to much hassle?

Alice decided to join this girl. Not be "friends". "Friends" was..........uncomfortable, mainly because she'd never had any before. Or if she had, she was incapable of keeping them, now. After what they did to her.
"Um. Okay. Look. Anari. Meh. I'm.....not extremely sentimental so, uh, try to ignore me if I get, uh, frosty."
Al felt....happier. To have someone. Her own kind.

Anari let out a little giggle, "Ok, i will" Anari could sence that she wasn't all frosty as such.Anari thought that letting Alice know her past would make her less uncomfortable, "I'm adopted and i'm living with my knew family, besides Tyrone i had him since i was a baby, i was adopted when i was 5 years old, and I'm a fire bender. Both my parents are dead..I think, I'm really not sure what happened to them hopefully they're ok." "I was injured and had ripped clothes when i came to Earth, funnily enough it was raining the day i came to Earth. I was lonely and i actually didn't have a family the first 2 days so i slept on the street. Until my mum took me in, cleaned me up, and called me her own" "Thats why i'm so happy, because i wasn't left for dead, now i am even more happy because i have found someone like me *feeling her long ears*"

crunchy: i'm liking that idea. it'd be a good excuse for the two groups at the moment to meet and merge into one.

Mordecai quieted a sharp, refreshing giggle erupting from his mouth. "I want to get away from here, of course! ..Would you like to be cooped up in a boring old hospital when you could be playing outside?" He grimaced sourly while snatching a bag of crackers; momentary jubilation had punctured another hole in his chest, crisp edges writhing in pain as invisible, star-like fluid rushed through. Gagging, Mordecai's arm lashed out for the rack, once again swept away by a falling sensation until his form reluctantly steadied.

"Uh... Right. I hate hospitals, too..." he nodded with a small frown. When he was a kid, after the incident, he was cooped up in a hospital just like this one for half a year or more.

This kid sure was odd. Though how many days he was without food, he couldn't blame him.

"Cape? Bracelets...? Uh..." he thought to himself for a second, folding his arms. He always had his right overlapping the left, "...You weren't wearing any when I found you... Either you imagined them or someone stole them while you were unconscious, which is fairly possible. There are a lot of thieves out their, dangerous ones at that. You were lucky."

Jimmy sat on a rooftop, just across the street from an old hospital. He stared up at the sky and thought to himself how much easier it would be to be a cloud, just drifting through life so effortlessly. He looked down at the people passing by and lept down onto the dirt ground. He passed a food cart and nonchalantly took an apple from it and began eating. After roaming around for awhile he found himself in front of the old hospital and took a seat on the ground beside the door. He threw a small metal cup beside him and waited patiently for some generous soul to come by and pay for his next meal.

"You're happy? I've made someone else........feel happy?"
Al snorted.
"I sincerely doubt that I've made you........happy." she scoffed, spitting out the word as if it was something foul and disgusting.
"So, um.........Anari. Where do you want to go? Even though there's not much to do in this cursed city for two element-bending elves and a wolf, we could try and have some fun."
Alice was trying too hard. She didn't like this euphoric feeling.
"Ugh. Come on, follow me." And she stalked off.
